During 2018 I consolidated my scholarship on rewilding science, policy and practice in a popular science book with support from Cain Blythe. My aim was to offer an affordable and cost-effective ‘primer’ for conservation professionals, students and other nature-minded people. Published by Icon books it was an unexpected success selling over 10,000 copies. In April 2022 an illustrated version was published in the US and UK and a French language edition in September of the same year.
